FORCE-PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,897, dated May 31, 1887.

Application filed August 1886. Serial No. QILSTS. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELIAS B. KENDIG and DAVID N. LANDIS, J r., citizens of the United.

hand; and the objects of our improvements are, first, to supply an adjustable handle that may be used in-a vertical or horizontal position; second, an attachment to the cylinder of a submerged pump-an arrangement by which the same may be kept a certain distance from the bottom of the well; The manner of obtaining these results will be readily understood by reference to the following specification and accompanying drawings, similar letters referring to similar parts.

Figure 1 is a full side elevation showing the adjustable handle attached to the eductionpipe of the pump; Fig. 2, an end elevation of the upper part of the arrangement with the socket for the wooden handle attached; Fig. 3, an end elevation showing the iron handle in position; Fig. 4, a top plan view through the line-A A of Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a perspective side view of the clutch device for the handle; Fig. 6, a side elevation of the socket for wood handle.

In Fig. 1 the submerged cylinder B has bolted fast to its side the chamber b, which forms a base for the eduction-pipe b, which is screwed into its upper part, as shown. On the lower part of this chamber 2), and fast to the same is a projecting-'foot-piece, (J. This footpiece may be made of any length to suit, but under ordinary cases should be from eight to ten inches. This foot resting on the bottom of the well prevents the lower valves in the cham-' collar, and fast to the same, is a projecting lug, d. The upper part of this lug has through it a bolt-hole, for a purpose hereinafter de scribed.

Spanning the pipe b,and attached to the lug d of the collar D, is a yoke, E. On the outer ends of this yoke arejaws 0, between which the pitman-rod S of the cylinder B-is held by means of the bolt 6. On the inner end of this yoke is a socket, F, which fits on the lug d of the collar D, and is held in position on this lug by means ofthe boltf, which passes through holes in the sides of this socket, and in the I upper part of this lug d, which is fast to the collar D, the bolt forms the center for the reciprocating yoke E. On the upper part of this socket F, and fast to the same,.is a lug, G,

through which is a bolt-hole, 9.- On the inner face of this log G is adisk rosette-clutch with V-shaped teeth on its face radiating toward the center. The handle shown at H is of iron, and on its lower end is a rosette-clutch with teeth to match the one on the. lug Gr. Through the center of this clutch is a bolt-hole tosuit the one through the lug G.

In Fig. 6 is shown a socket, K, on thelower side of which isa rosetteclutch, the same as on theiron handle H. This socket is intended to receive a bar or lever of wood, if desired to use one, instead of the iron handle H.

The dotted line L in Fig. 1 shows a brace with a slip-collar fast to its upper end. This collar passes over the pipe b,and is held fast to the same by the set-screw Z. The other end of the brace is fast to the curb of the well by means of bolts orscrews through its foot Z. The object of this brace is to support the'pipe b when it is desired to place the reciprocating device above so that the handle H may be used in ahorizontal position.

Having thus described this arrangement,

1), with the lug d on one of its ends, is'now slipped on the pipe and made fast to the same by the set-screw c in any desired position. The yoke E is now placed in position with its socket F over the lug d on the collar D, and

' the bolt f, which forms its center, is placed in position. The pitman-rod S is now made of a length to suit the depth of the well, its upper end placed between the jaws e and held fast to these by the bolt 6. The handle H is now placed at any desired angle on the rosetteclutch on the face of the lug G and held fast in this position by the bolt f passing through both of them. The lever H can be now worked by the hand-hold on its upper end, this movement causing the yoke E to reciprocate in its center bolt, f, through the socket F and'lug d, by this means giving the desired motion to the pitman-rod S. If it is desired to work the lever H in a horizontal position after making the plate m fast to the curb c by screws or bolts and fast to the pipe b by the set-screw m, we

place the brace L in position fast to the pipe I) by theset-screw land to the curb by screws through its foot 1. The socket D, with the yoke E attached, as before described, is now placed in position above the top of the brace L on the pipe b and fast by the setscrew c. The pitman-rod S of the proper length is now attached as before, the lever-handle H connected so as to work horizontally, and held in position by the bolt f through the center of the rosette'clutch on its end.

If it is desired to use a wooden lever instead of iron, it is fitted in the socket K, Fig. 6, and this socket, which has a clutch on its end, the same as the iron handle, may be held fast to the yoke E by the bolt f in the same manner. This arrangement is shown and described attached to a submerged pump, but'may be used .on any style where hand-levers are made to work the same.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as. new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A pump-cylinder, piston, and piston-rod, in combination with slotted yoke E, the collar D, having lug d, bolts 0, f, andf, the interlockingrosettes G and H, and means for turning said rosettes to operate said piston-rod, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presenceof two witnesses.
